I've only associated Dewalt with power tools. Has Dewalt also made hand tools this whole time, or are they just starting to slap their brand on some whatever-Chinese stuff?

They have only entered hand tools in the last 2 years or so. They are owned by Stanley and their tools are decent tools, by far from the best but better than a lot. Their Fatmax line is even better. The Dewalt hand tools are definably better and have a lifetime guarantee. I'm sure most of it is made in China, but isn't just about everything these days is. So I guess one of the better ones coming from China is the answer.

I say their should be a made in the USA deal forum, or filter for it.i like the made in USA filter idea. my tools are over 75% made in USA (possibly over 90%, but it's not practical to do a count) and i prefer to keep it that way
